Following on from yesterdays card I'm sticking with the same colour scheme today.This card may be best suited for valentines day, but I'm always fashionably late so why change the habit of a lifetime?!

I cut out the heart freehand, intentionally going for a lopsided look.

I simply LOVE creating inky backgrounds!Over the next 3 days I will share with you 3 different cards using the same inky backgrounds.You can of course create these in any colour, be sure to tag #thecrippledcrafter on social media to show me your cards using any of my ideas.

Whilst Tri-Fold Shutter Cards are not a new concept, I created this pattern myself, to fit in an A6 Envelope. If anyone would me to post the instructions for this A6 Tri-Fold Shutter Card or how to create these inky backgrounds be sure to leave a comment below!

I'm back with my first blog post in a while, featuring MDF Daisy's.Unfortunately not a recent project, it is however a project you've not seen before!

I started by sticking used stamps to the background. These mostly vanished under the layers though, as is common for mixed media! I sealed the stamps with gel medium then lightly dry brushed with white gesso. Once dry I got out my DoCrafts Artiste Sprizting Inks and liberally covered the whole of the postcard.Once all these layers were fully dry I stamped allover the background with Archival Ink then applied a several coats of Americana Triple Thick. I covered the back with Sheena White Stamping Card, stamped some more and finished the front of the project with a stamped.... erm stamp!
